THE OLD TESTAMENT - WHAT IS IT?

The Old Testament is the testimony of life before the birth of Jesus Christ,

man was under the law. This time is reflected in the the Bible books of

Genesis through Malachi.

REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS

 
                           Parable of the Prodigal Son

LUKE 15:11-32

13 “Not long after that, the younger son gathered all he had, set off for a distant country and there spent his wealth in wild living. 14 After spending everything, there was a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and worked for a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to eat the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “Realizing his mistake, he said, ‘How many of my father’s servants have plenty of food and here I am starving to death!

THE MIRACULOUS RELEASE OF THE APOSTLES

Acts 5:19-20

An angel of the Lord came at night and let them out of the prison and said "Go stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life".

JESUS LEFT A LEGACY BEHIND

ACTS 2

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them cloven tongues like tongues of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit spoke through them.

WHY DID THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE SPLIT?

Mark 15 tells us about the death of Jesus Christ. Jesus was crucified. His death was significant because it opened the Way for sinners to come to God. (this was indicated by the Veil splitting.)

The Veil of the Temple
Following the death of Jesus Christ, the Veil of the temple was split in two.
Mark 15 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

The Bible tells us that "Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life"

John 14:5-7 (King James Version) 5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

JESUS LOVES US ALL

Jesus loves every one of us, even if you are not a Christian.
He went to the Cross for the sins of all mankind. Jesus has
left all of us with a spirit of Discernment, which is the Holy Spirit,
who shows us what is right or wrong. He gives us all free will to
follow Him or not.
This Holy Spirit is an internal spirit, evident in our consciences.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, that gives light to every man
that comes into the world.

Even as Christians we are Sinners, Jesus went to the Cross
for ALL Sinners
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
make us clean and pure again.

FAITH AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED

Matthew 17:14-21

20And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief, for truly I tell you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Leave this place and go over there and it shall move, and nothing shall be impossible for you.
21 However you can only do this by prayer and fasting.
